Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not the first time the Government has been caught napping, as usual. Where was the Government when this matter was in court? Why did the Government not put up a strong case? My understanding is that the Attorney-General’s Office sent very junior officers who probably never understood the consequences of this matter. So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Government now cannot turn around and push the blame to the courts. The blame goes squarely to the Government!

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The floods have caused a crisis. The Government has been briefed by the Minister. All we are asking is; “Bring that brief to Parliament”.

He can come and give us the brief that he will be given by the Minister and the House will be happy or will take other action.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Assistant Minister in order to give an excuse that the file has been missing or misplaced while we are dealing with a Government that issues documents?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am asking for certificate of destruction showing that, indeed, these drugs were destroyed. We want to confirm, indeed, whatever was destroyed was actually drugs. There are allegations that whatever was destroyed was unga and not drugs. Is the Assistant Minister in order to tell this House that he will only be able to give those documents when they are given to him? This means that if he is not given, he will never bring them to the House.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, this is a Government which has no human face when it comes to dealing with the poor common man. This is a Government of the rich, for the rich and by the rich.

He says he is not aware that we have very many youths who will be unemployed if they stopped licensing the 14-seater matatus. Could he tell us what they will do with them as a result of this directive?
